“Daddy wait for me!" - Do you know how long I have been waiting to visit Gold Hill? Ever since I signed this account up to Instagram 2 years ago I have been desperate to visit this place! It is a 2 and a half hour drive from me and I have never found the right time to go. After visiting nearby Stourhead I made the strip to Shaftesbury in Dorset where this street is. I spent around 15 minutes at the top of the hill appreciating the view, I actually had the whole place to myself which I didn't expect. It was everything I thought it would be but even prettier in person.
.
As I turned around to leave I heard a high pitched squeak coming from the bottom of the hill, I turned around and saw a little girl dressed in red tear round the corner. At this point I would normally throw my backpack off, stress over getting the zip open, whack out the camera and fiddle with a particular lens. This time around I was fortunate to have a lightweight camera hanging from my wrist, meaning within 30 seconds the camera was on and the photo was snapped.
.
Big BIG thanks to @fujifilmx_uk for lending me their FUJIFILM XF10 camera for the last couple of weeks to test out. This camera is great for those wanting to start out in photography but don't know what camera to use or what cameras will overwhelm them. The camera is simple to use with a lot of the features of a professional camera (I always shoot on aperture priority), it also has inbuilt WiFi and Bluetooth for when you want to upload to your phone to share to Instagram straight away (the square mode even lets you shoot in Instagram size).
.
They have very kindly given me the discount code POSTCARDS10 for you guys to get 10% off. If any of you decide to shoot with this camera, please tag me in your photos, I would love to see!

Building an empire // I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the road less traveled and, more specifically, the like-minded women I have been fortunate enough to connect with since I took the leap into full-time entrepreneurship back in 2015. The women who are hustling and making sacrifices to build something they believe in from the ground up.

Within the writing community, the coaching community, and the travel community — I’ve bonded with so many of you over the struggles and the successes, and the many late nights/early mornings required to build our visions. It’s so vital to have people who simply “get it.” I am forever grateful for your support, generosity, and friendship.

Special thanks to my college friend @northandleisure for pointing out that it’s #womensentrepreneurshipday If you’re not already, follow her for practical travel tips and custom itineraries for Ireland, Scotland, and Atlantic Canada! Not only is she extremely thorough with her work but she’s so down-to-earth too!
